Hi zokxy. Welcome to Geeks to Go. When you have a cd in the drive, can you go to windows explorer and access the files? Do you get the same "permissions" error when you do that? Right click and see if there is a settings for permissions, as to who may access the files.

I can access the files on disc, I see them in explorer but when I try to copy them (for example Autocad files) I keep getting message : The system cannot read from the specified device,
in Winamp I have skin which says the music is being played, but no sound comes out of my speakers, I played the same Cd on my laptop, all OK,
as for settings I cant find no mention of permissions anywhere around ...
I succeded to copy files from Cd on my desktop, but they can't be played not even from there...
I have Autoplay, so when I put Cd or DVD I keep receiving the msg I mentioned in my first post ...
Thanks.

so it was working before installing DirectX 9.0, now it is not? I see M$ in its infinite wizdom has no uninstall option? I did a google search for removing DrectX9.0 and came up with this http://www.softwaret...php/t-4811.html

Cdrom rollback is available as a "post-uninstall" feature on systemsrunning Windows 98 or better... The 'FULL' retail version of DirectXwill be restored from the Windows CD; no interaction is necessary asthis process is fully automated. To initiate this procedure, double-click the "DirectX Rollback Wizard" shortcut on the Desktop.

Windows Server 2003: All hardware acceleration features will be setto "Enabled" by default. You can verify this by running DXDIAG.EXE.

Compatibility-------------

Windows 2000/XP/2K3 users must be logged on as an Administrator, ora member of the Administrators' group to use DirectX Eradicator. Inaddition, "Cryptographic Services" MUST BE ENABLED; to view a listof running services, type: NET START at the command console.

MS04-016 info-------------

DXE will remove all files and registry information pertaining to theDirectPlay security vulnerability patch - KB839643. It is recommendedyou reinstall this patch once you have successfully restored DirectXfrom your Windows CD.

Redistribution--------------
